Embodiment Construction

The numerous innovative teachings of the present application will be described with particular reference to the presently preferred exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that this class of embodiments provides only a few examples of the many advantageous uses of the innovative teachings herein. In general, statements made in the specification of the present application do not necessarily delimit any of the various claimed inventions. Moreover, some statements may apply to some inventive features but not to others.

With reference now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated a sample Internet Protocol (IP) based cellular network 10, such as a cellular network based on the H.323 architecture, which is composed of a plurality of areas 12, each with a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and an integrated Visitor Location Register (VLR) 14 therein. The MSC / VLR areas 12, in turn, include a plurality of Location Areas (LA) 18, which are defined as that part of a given MSC / ...

Abstract

A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for transmitting and receiving short messages between a Mobile Station (MS) within an Internet Protocol (IP) based cellular network and a web site on the Internet. Each web site that the MS has access to contains an Application Program (AP). To retrieve the information, the MS within an IP-based cellular network originates a short message towards the AP associated with the web site using a pre-assigned E.164 number for the AP. When the short message reaches a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), an Application Manager (AM) within the MSC intercepts the short message and translates the E.164 number into an IP-address and port number for the AP. The AM extracts the data from the short-message, packs the data in an SMTP envelope and transmits it to the AP.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates generally to telecommunications systems and methods for sending and receiving short messages by a mobile station, and specifically to accessing the Internet in an internet-protocol based cellular network by sending and receiving short messages.2. Background of the Present InventionWith the increasing use of the Internet Protocol (IP) for delivering voice traffic across systems, some cellular networks have begun to implement IP internally. The IP packetizes voice and data for transmission within and between systems, and provides the benefit of shared bandwidth. Thus, instead of reserving a specific circuit for each call, as in conventional circuit-switched cellular networks, the voice and data for all calls in an IP-based cellular network can be transmitted together through the network.Many mobile subscribers are beginning to access the Internet remotely using their Mobile Stations (MSs).
